Yes two is overloaded.,it will be difficult for him to digest.
Give him one egg on alternate days ,see his nature of digestion ,then slowly start everyday one,.
Along with egg u give him milk,buttermilk, vegetables,fruits ,so that other nutrients will also be compensated.

There is no harm in giving broiler eggs. You should give only one egg per day along with other things too. Always remember other nutrients are also important along with protein.

Greetings for the day!
It's pleasure to help you on this platform.
Going kids need proteins but also need good balance of carbohydrates and fats too.
As per age every child has a perticular requirement of protein.
Giving eggs is a good practice but don't over do it. 1 egg per day is ok. As it depends on the climatic conditions where you stay and digestion power of the child. Encourage other home food like red rice or millets , vegetables and fruits to spare the proteins for growth.
Next Steps
To get a personalized diet plan it would be great if you consult me directly on Online Practo consultation or at www.dietitianshamika.com

Hello!
Broiler eggs are perfectly safe, make sure it is from a trusted source.
You can give one full egg and one egg white daily. Give it in different meals to balance out protein intake.
